Description of problem:
Openssh does not support the use of an smartcard for authentication when using
OpenSC and OpenCT.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenSSH_4.7p1
How reproducible:
Do ssh -I 0 username@host And OpenSSH will say "no support for smartcards".
Additional info:
1. Download the latest openssh source
2. Apply the patch that's attached to this bugreport.
3. Compile openssh with ./configure –with-opensc=/usr (you will need opensc and
openct to be installed)
4. After make and make install you can use ssh -I 0 username@host (-I 0 stands
for using smartcard 0 for authentication)

Sorry, I forgot to give a good description of the patch.
The patch will make openssh ask for the PIN for the private ssh key on the
smartcard. Normally openssh doesn't ask for the PIN so it cannot use the
privatekey (because the privatekey is protected with an PIN)

Actually this patch comes from upstream's bugzilla, and is part of %doc (I
think) no idea why this isn't in the default source.
Rick, do you have an url to the relevant upstream bugreport / webpage?
